I have made these a few times, with mouth-watering results! I think about these muffins more than any other I make, and I have to make them once I get them on my mind! The cakey-doughnuty texture just makes me so happy...Enjoy!
I made these on thanksgiving morning to rave reviews. I've been asked to make them again for Christmas.
I made these last year around Thanksgiving and they were delicious! Everyone in my house loved them, and the recipe is at the top of my list to make again this year.

pumpkin muffin
I followed the directions exactly, and even watched the video, but these muffins turned out horribly! Once out of the oven, the tops immediately dropped and flattened. The were also burnt on the outsides, but the batter wasn't cooked all the way on the inside. Needless to say, they were sadly thrown out.
Just made these today and turned out great--even though I used tablespoons instead of teaspoons for baking soda and baking powder.
I am not a big fan of Martha Stewart, she complicates recipes IMO, but this recipe looks good, I'll just have to simplify it a bit.
Addictive!
I don't know why there are negative reviews. These tasted just like donuts! My husband said to never make them again as he couldn't stop eating them. I had that problem also. The kids loved them also. Making them for Christmas as an added desert.
These were delicious!!! They are very moist and I love the added sugar/cinnamon 2.
My family loves these muffins. I must admit I did add about 1/4 cup more pumpkin and reapplied the sugar coating three days after first application. They turned out great and went fast in our house.
As I was preparing this recipe, I read a few of the negative reviews and decided to make a few adjustments. Instead of allspice, I used cinnamon and I doubled the amount. I also increased the brown sugar by a half a cup.
Because this is a doughnut muffin, I didn’t expect it to be as sweet and moist as a muffin. However, if you have a sweet tooth or just want to try something different, spread with a bit of cream cheese frosting from Martha’s Carrot Cake Cookie recipe.
I guess I overreacted to my muffins. My husband just ate them and said they were delicious. I guess I tried them when they were too hot and they tasted pastey to me. Now they taste better, but they do need extra flavoring in the batter, very bland if you dont use the cinnamon/sugar dredge.
Made these muffins today and they came out awful. Very dry and floury tasting. Not sure what I did wrong if anything. Followed the recipe exactly, only used egg whites instead. They would be totally tasteless without the cinnamon/sugar. Seems like there is too much flour in the recipe. It says 12 muffins and I got about 16. Won't make these again...
I have to agree with many of the other reviewers who felt that the mix was a bit bland. I even added a little bit more allspice & nutmeg than the recipe called for, but it still wasn't enough for me. Next time I may double the amount of allspice & nutmeg, or add some cinnamon directly to the mix instead of just the coating. But the consistency came out nice. I also used a mini muffin pan (because I like bite-size snacks!) and it cut the baking time down to about 15 mins.
My kids and I made this recipe before work/ school this morning. It was so easy, and tasted delish! They had a blast helping to coat the muffins with butter and sugar.
My co-workers were in awe over how moist the muffin was, and how crunchy the sugar stayed despite eating them almost 2 hours later.
This recipe is a success!
Delicious! They really do taste and feel like cake doughnuts -- moist, sweet with a touch of fall. P)
These little muffins were a HIT!!! I was amazed at how much they really tasted like cake doughnuts. Kids loved them. Will make again for sure.
Definitely very doughtnut like. Next time I'd add more spice into the batter and maybe some chocolate chips. They are a touch blan. Also definitely need the cinnamon sugar on top at least!
Yummy! I love doughnuts - so this is a great substitute! I made them using my mini-muffin pan and was able to cut the bake time down to about 12 minutes and get about 5 1/2 dozen little guys. I just dipped the tops in the butter than the sugar mixture. I froze half the batch and gobbled up the rest!
These came out wonderful! I actually made a mistake and used to whole sticks of butter, probably why they came out so good! Also, just used Pumpkin Pie Spice instead of allspice and nutmeg.
Just made these for the family and they ate them up! Really, really yummy! There is a local pumpkin farm that makes pumpkin doughnuts and I crave them. These really put those cravings to rest! Definitely something to eat hot. I didn't have any to try cold...which is a good sign! YUMMY and very, very easy. Must try! Thank you for the recipe!
I made these muffins, followed the recipe to the letter and they came out horribly, I was so disappointed. They were completely dry, were very thick and no flavor in the muffin. Not sure what went wrong, I read the recipe over and over, truly not sure what went wrong.
I thought these muffins were just perfect. The batter is very thick but don't be put off by that. They bake wonderfully and, once buttered and tossed with the cinnamon sugar, are simply delicious. They are wonderfully dense and moist and I thought the flavor was very nice - exactly what I expected - and though it wouldn't hurt to try pumpkin pie spice or ground ginger, I think it would compete too much with the cinnamon sugar coating.
I too saw these on the Today show and wanted to give them a try. I went to the Today Show website for the recipe, and the method for prepration is sadly lacking and you know how you get a feeling that somethings not right? Well, they're in the oven with too much butter and sugar. Won't trust the Today show recipe site again. This one looks right. Those will be a "new" muffin. :0(
Martha was on the Today Show yesterday and prepared these during her segment. So, I thought I'd give them a try. I love anything pumpkin so I had high hopes. These were very easy, quick to make and they came out looking rustic and beautiful. My disappointment was that the muffin itself tasted bland...the only real flavor came from the cinammon/sugar coating. If I make these again, I'll add some pumpkin pie spice for more flare.
